When we moved out here in March I had big plans with gardening. But we had so many things to do first, that I didn't get to do any gardening other than rose bushes and various flowers. One day we were at Home-Depot when I saw a tomato plant. I had to buy it and it was doing so good. It had 12 tomatoes growing at one time. I was so proud of my little plant.Last week we had one of many thunderstorms and this time I was too late in taking my plant out of the dangerous zone and this is what I found when I opened my front door....all but 2 of my tomatoes were laying on the ground.
Since my Dad told me that they would still ripen in a dark dry place, I still got to enjoy the "fruits of my labor" a couple days later. Delicious!!!
Nun fuer Euch Deutschen eine kleine Beschreibung. Als wir in unser Haus eingezogen sind, wollte ich unbedingt einen Garten anfangen, aber mit all den kleinen Projekten ist es nie wirklich was geworden und so habe ich dieses Jahr bloss eine kleine Tomatenpflanze gehabt. Ich habe sie schoen gepflegt und sie hatte 12 Tomaten dran. Letzte Woche hat es aber so gestuermt das meine Pflanze runtergefallen ist und 10 Tomaten abgefallen sind. Vati meinte, sie wuerden auch noch reifen, wenn man sie in einen dunklen und trockenen Platz legt und das taten sie auch. Wir haben sie uns vor ein paar Tagen schmecken lassen. Lecker!!!!!

I'm glad they ended up being okay! Even green they look pretty. Out here in the south, we would have breaded & fried them up. Had us some fried green tomatoes!
How sad to see all your hard work fall off. But at least you still got to eat them!
